In this hobby, one size certainly does not fit all. Whether you are collecting elite 28mm skirmish teams, massive tabletop armies, or specialised display pieces, choosing the right modular wargaming shelf is the difference between a cluttered mess and a professional showcase.
As a dedicated UK team, we began crafting these designs in 2021 to solve a major problem: wargamers needed a modular, affordable, and high-quality alternative to standard acrylic cases. All our stands are precision-engineered to interlock seamlessly, allowing your display to grow alongside your collection.
While many hobbyists search for an acrylic display riser, traditional acrylic reflects harsh glare under hobby lamps and shows fingerprints instantly. WarSplay™ stands are crafted from a durable matte plastic, ensuring your intricate paint jobs remain the focal point. For a deeper look at materials, read our guide on Acrylic Cases vs. Open Stands.
1. The WarSplay™ Classic (Infantry Focus)
- Best for: Battleline squads, RPG parties, and standard troops.
- Capacity: 17 Models.
- Max Base Size: 32mm.
The Classic is designed to maximise density. As the ultimate IKEA Detolf® upgrade, it allows you to fit a full-strength infantry unit in a compact footprint with perfect "stadium seating" visibility. Every model is compatible with Warhammer 40,000® and Age of Sigmar® standard infantry bases.
2. The WarSplay™ Hero (Command Focus)
- Best for: Commanders, Cavalry, and Monsters.
- Capacity: 9 Models.
- Max Base Size: Up to 80mm.
The Hero stand is all about spacing. We opened up the layout to ensure oversized models and dynamic, "heroic" poses don't clash. It's the perfect way to stop hiding your masterpieces and give your centrepiece generals the breathing room they deserve.
3. The WarSplay™ XL (Collector Focus)
- Best for: Large vehicles, Vinyl Toys, and Heavy Support.
- Capacity: 17 Large Models.
- Max Base Size: 54mm (with depth for overhang).
The XL features a 50% larger footprint for bulkier items. If you collect larger wargaming units or standard collectables, this provides the required stability without sacrificing our signature modular connectivity. It is a vital component for a clean desk display setup where heavy units need secure positioning.
